Welcome to Hatrack, John. You are just in very green newbie status and fair game for random snarkiness that is not personal in any way.
So, I have to agree with MEC that Letterman has seen better days, and sadly, I have not seen the film, so I can't truly appreciate the humor of the top 10 list.
But welcome to Hatrack nonetheless! Posts: 1870 | Registered: Mar 2003

People being snarky at random for no reason other than I'm new...not because of anything really to do with me.
Somehow, that doesn't make sticking around here beyond my "newbie" period sound very attractive. Nor does it really make the snarkiness understandable.
Making a joke that not so subtly insults a thread-starter is _much_ different from saying "I think the Letterman show has seen better days".

Do you hear that? What's that sound? Ah yes, it's the world's saddest song, played on the world's tiniest violin.

hi, john it's usually a good idea to just shrug off anything that rubs you the wrong way. usually no offense is intended, or occasionally intelligence and creativity weren't a priority.
hey, did you know they are already soliciting ultimate iron man? that means it should be coming out really soon!
and welcome, of course. ha. let me know if someone's a jerk. i'll probably know where they live, and they'll soon have a problem with sentient produce...

Please forgive the silliness! It wasn't meant to be hostile. It's just not always apparent, when trying to be funny, that something one says might come off as sounding sort of snarky, too, especially to a newcomer.
Newbies ARE welcome here. Most of our most prolific contributors to the board were once newbies (if you can believe it). (I, of course, was never a newbie.)

Yet another example of Hatrack being the nicest place on earth. I'm not saying I wouldn't rather spend time here than clean my house.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean the "you" to be directed towards you. I just don't find Letterman very funny.

Okay, I had no idea who this guy was, so I looked him up. It didn't help. However, I thought the screenwriter looked familiar, but when I clicked on his name, I didn't recognize any of the films, but noticed he went to BYU.

Don't worry, the people here are really nice. They have to be, to tolerate me!
